pointedness, plainness, sincerity, earnestness, are shown to be primary
elements. Use of the voluminous material is suggested so
as to make it helpful, but the Bible itself is held up as the basis
of all preaching in Jesus' Name. Three hours a week.
C.-Psychology and Preaching. Gardner's text is the basis
of this term of study. The psychology of the crowd is studied.
Christian experience is studied to some degree analytically. Morality
of preaching is brought in to guard against "wood, hay, stubble"

and the place of the Word of God are studied in their relations
to preacher and sinner and to the church. Three hours a week.

thought to the hearers with all possible reverence and power.
